Papier Mache Australian Animals - Pack of 80

The Papier M¢ché Australian Animals - Pack of 80 is a delightful and educational resource that brings creative expression and cultural learning together in one versatile kit. Supplied in a mix of 8 iconic Australian animal shapes, children can explore native wildlife through hands-on craft as they paint, draw, or embellish their papier m¢ché figures using a variety of materials. From traditional paints and markers to collage and natural fibres, the decorating options are endless-making each piece uniquely personal.

Included in the set are the following animal shapes: scorpion, kangaroo, emu, cassowary, turtle, lizard, fish, and frog. This diverse range encourages children to choose a favourite animal or use all of them to create a habitat scene or diorama that supports cross-curricular learning about nature, science, and environmental awareness. Each animal measures approximately 10-12cm, making them easy to handle for small hands and perfectly sized for individual or collaborative classroom projects.

The animals are neatly packed in their own reusable papier m¢ché storage box, which can also be decorated and used as part of the craft experience.
